Lacquer is a durable, water resistant base that can serve well for permanent projects on hard surfaces, such as metal.
At the beginning of the home building process, many contractors will utilize lacquer-based paints in kitchens for longevity and frugality. Solvent based paints, however, do not function well on wood surfaces in the long run. Lacquer coatings get hard and brittle overtime, and wood is a flexible surface that requires airflow to expand and contract. This need to breathe is what causes the peeling and flaking of the paint.
Kitchen cabinets are better suited for Acrylic, waterborne paint.
